Array ( [sid] => 122585 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Little Jessica Lunsford [time] => 2006-06-30 23:02:47 [hometext] => This is one news story that I can never seem to get out of my mind. Jessica seems to be everyones daughter. I hope her family knows how much we all cared & still care. [bodytext] => Picture the little girl,
Who was stolen from her world,
Imagine if you can,
The depravity of one man,
He took her from her own bed,
He a pedophile ~ Who is not dead,
The justice system should be ashamed,
“Rehabilitate, teach and tame,”
Then set them free ~ Give them trust,
See what happens if you must,
Watch them stalk the youngest prey,
Remember “Justice” on that day,
So here’s what happens when you believe,
That pedophiles should go free,
A little girl tucked in bed,
Happy dreams in her head,
A cross the street in plain sight,
No one knew ~ About this night,
An unlocked door and he was in,
Life just changed for all them,
He took and raped this little girl,
Confused and hurt ~ Terror swirled,
He kept her hid like a secret toy,
Informing her brought him joy,
She knew of the search going on for her,
Allowed TV ~ This pain she endured,
She heard her dad beg and cry,
Her little mind couldn’t understand why,
What did she do to make this man so mad?
Why couldn’t she go back to her dad,
Then one night after the searchers went home,
He took her in the woods all alone,
He dug a grave and let her see,
Exactly where she was going to be,
He opened a trash bag and she knew,
She asked, “If the bag was for her too”,
She only had one request,
“Could she take the stuffed dolphin that she loved best?”
Yes, she could ~ Yes, she did…
Buried alive ~ Her body hid,
He said, “She didn’t beg or cry,
A brave little girl ~ Is how she died.”

~~~

Now, it was time to cut and run,
His half-sister gave him the funds,
She knew her brother ~ She knew him well,
She knew this baby was living through hell,
She kept her mouth shut and helped him flee…
She’s a pedophile too ~ It’s plain to see,
He’s back in jail and admitted his guilt,
Proud of his kidnapping, rape and kill,
Now, with counsel with all the right words,
He recants his confession ~ Now, words unheard.

~~~

Back to “Justice” and what it should be,
Should pedophiles have a right to be free?
Or, should their last hours be that of the child,
The one they destroyed ~ The one they defiled?

A very sincere and caring tribute. It's sad so many families and friends have had to learn to cope with the loss of a loved one through these means. I know from personal experience, one of my friends jenn, got abducted and unfortunately when the police found her it was too late. Two weeks of hell she went through, it's a sin she was so young, it's hard to think about. I don't think anyones capable of understanding the pain a victim in that position goes through, nor should we have to try. It's not right. I'm glad the man responsible for this little girls' pain was found. Too bad we couldn't find more of the monsters.

A heartfelt tribute.

A strident and confronting protest against liberal concepts of individual redemption - and I agree. Paedophiles, as opposed to situational child molesters, seek out children as their preferred erotic object, no matter what the situation. That's why hard core paedophiles get almost as excited by Target catalogue pictures of children as they do by child pornography. As such, their disposition is unchangeable and their behaviour is irredeemable. Combine this with sadism and a propensity to 'dispose' of the evidence (ie the victim), and you have Jessica's killer. The justice systems of most countries still devalue children and hold to outdated concepts of rehabilitation and contrition in these vile individuals. We've studied enough of them, now we need to just get rid of them.

It's so sad but it's a legacy now.
Great writing.
